During the fourth and last week of the COSMOS Cluster 2 on Engineering Design and Control of Kinetic Sculptures, our team has to integrate the Mini Sculpture concept(s) into a working Full Kinetic Sculpture. Lessons learned during the prototyping of the Mini Sculpture are now applied to ensure the Full Sculpture operates autonomously and is robust to any design or programming errors found during the Mini Sculpture design.
Design Requirements
